David Baddiels comment about Corbyn

[Minionoftheantichrist]

I’ve looked for a thread about this but can’t see one.
David Baddiel picked up that on the leaders debate Corbyn pronounced Epstein in a way that made it sound more Jewish ie Epshteen as opposed to Epsteen. He said every Jew will have noticed this and that it’s another example of Corbyns antisemitism.

I’m Jewish. I’m no fan of Corbyn but really hadn’t noticed this and even now David Baddiel has pointed it out, am struggling to see this as an example of antisemitism. Am I missing something here? Is this antisemitic?

The experience of a Jewish father and son today on the northern line.

I found that video really heartening. Not the horrible anti-Semitic loon, but the fact that others spoke up and that it was a Muslim woman who stood up to him and stopped the abuse.

What a shero. I'm never sure what Britishness is when politicians ramble on about it, but that lass has it in spades.

That's horrible @Halleli , that poor boy. Really glad to see people sticking up for them with this tosser.

@Halleli

The video just had me in tears to see the absolute worst and the absolute best of humanity in one place.

That video is awful.
The father is a better person than me.
The poor lad looked frozen with fear.

Hallieli that woman in the video was excellent. It’s so heartening to see minorities looking out for each other. My family don’t wear any identifying clothing or jewellery and yet we still feel we stand out due to our appearance (DB was taken aside by plain clothes police at the train station as he bore a striking resemblance to a terrorist they were after ) but I really think in these times to wear hijab, niqabs or any other religious gear is brave. It shouldn’t be, but increasingly it does require courage I imagine. As I said up thread it’s been years since DD wore her Star of David necklace in public. She doesn’t feel safe if it’s on show.

@TheQueef Thank you so much for every word of that post. I know that there are lots of decent Labour supporters out there who don't realise what the party has become - it includes a lot of my oldest, dearest friends (not the Jewish ones) which makes it really really hard to say this stuff. I don't want to lose my friends

And thanks for the - I'm still working and my actual wine has turned to vinegar after being left out overnight so I'm very grateful!

Just seen a clip of Dominic Raab mispronouncing Luciana Berger's name...
